Week 22: Flower Week 5 – Canopy Development, Irrigation & Trichome Details 🌸❄️💧 A detailed look into flower structure, nutrient management, and overall setup dynamics during the peak flowering phase: Environmental & Climate Management (Summer Heat & RH) 🌡️💧 Summer Heat Compensation: Due to high ambient temperatures exceeding 30 °C, an air conditioner is running alongside the dehumidifier during the day to keep lung-room temperatures stable. Relative Humidity Peaks (Lights-Out): Data logs show RH spikes reaching 70–71% inside the closed tent during the lights-out phase. Preventive Countermeasures: The dehumidifier is positioned to blow dry air directly toward the tent's passive intake port. Two internal circulation fans are running on high alongside the main exhaust system to maintain strong air velocity and prevent localized moisture pockets around dense bud clusters. Nutrient Schedule & Irrigation Log 💧 Feeding Regimen: Hesi Schedule starting from Flower Week 4 (including Hesi Bloom Complex, Phosphorus Plus, SuperVit / Boost). Supplements: BioBizz CalMag added 2–3 times per week (calculated on a 10-liter batch mix basis). Irrigation Volume: The automated irrigation system consumed roughly 100 liters of water this week. The primary 50-liter reservoir was refilled twice throughout the week. Bud Structure & Trichome Coverage 🔍❄️ Heavy Resin Production: High-resolution close-ups reveal dense calyxes completely encrusted in trichomes. Notable Feature: High-density trichome coverage extends past the sugar leaves and covers the upper fan leaves. Glandular heads are transitioning from clear to milky white. Pistil Maturation: Pistils are steadily shifting to a deep amber-orange hue while new white pistils continue to push out. Anthocyanin Expression: Under high PPFD levels, subtle purple and dark pigmentation is beginning to show along the calyx edges and sugar leaves. Foliage Condition: Upper fan leaves directly within the central light cone show mild Cal-Mag/light fading—a standard response to high metabolic rates under peak LED intensity. Setup & Tent Architecture ⛺💡 Lighting: Quad LED array aligned to provide uniform edge-to-edge canopy coverage without shaded zones. Environment Sensor: Wireless environmental sensor mounted right at canopy level for real-time temperature and RH tracking at the top colas. Airflow & Lower Canopy: Dual clip-on fans maintain upper and mid-canopy airflow, while a clear lower stem area ensures unobstructed intake circulation beneath the ScrOG frame. Extra Section: Maintenance, Tech & Support Log ✂️🛠️📡 Routine plant maintenance and control system troubleshooting were key priorities alongside tracking bloom progress. Canopy Pruning & Defoliation ✂️🌿 Lower Canopy Clean-Up: Performed a selective lower trim, removing a few weak bottom shoots and shaded foliage. Energy Focus & Circulation: Clearing lower growth redirects plant energy toward the primary colas while maximizing passive floor-level airflow. Spider Farmer AC10 Controller – Connectivity Issue 🔌⚠️ * Device: Spider Farmer GGS AC-10 Smart Controller / Power Strip. Issue: Experiencing recurring Wi-Fi signal drops and app sync failures. Status: Standard network troubleshooting (forcing a 2.4 GHz band, module resets, etc.) has been completed without resolving the issue. Support Ticket: Reached out directly to Spider Farmer Support yesterday evening regarding the ongoing network instability. Week 23 Outlook: Will follow up next week with an update on customer support responsiveness and resolution efficiency. Extra Section: Mother Plants & Nursery Rack Overview 🌿🌴🍋 The propagation and vegetation area is running at full speed alongside the main bloom tent, housing strong mother stock and a variety of companion plants. Mother Plant Care & Architecture ?✂️ Stem Structure & Health: Healthy, well-trained mother plants displaying thick, woody main trunks (lignification) and strong branching. Selective Thinning: The mother plant positioned in front of the propagation rack received a light pruning to clear out inner shade leaves, boost airflow, and concentrate vigor on primary clone sites. Canopy State: Dense overall leaf structure featuring plenty of vigorous growth points ready for ongoing clone extraction. Propagation Rack & Exotic Plant Log 🛠️🌱 Top Level (Organic Lemons & Garden Transition): Home-grown organic lemon plants (Citrus) are thriving under propagation LEDs, monitored with yellow sticky traps for preventive pest control. The older, larger lemon trees have already been transitioned outdoors into the garden for direct sunlight. Middle Level & Bench (Washington Palms): Larger Washingtonia palms are placed on the adjacent workspace table in ambient room light, while smaller palm seedlings continue root development inside the propagation tent. Bottom Level (Lemon Eucalyptus): One established and two newly propagated Lemon Eucalyptus plants (Eucalyptus citriodora) are developing smoothly.

First day of week 6, i have to say these ladies are FASTTT! VPD 1.15-1.23 lights on VPD 0.97-1.05 lights off. The 70x70 area is 101% covered although id say 72x72cm because i added some self made growbox wall extenders i have started thinking adding the trellis net now or some days later to tilt the colas alittle just slightly for better light absorbtion for lower buds under the main shoots isnt a bad idea,under canopy view is magazine cover worthy MAN :D as you can see they are on fabric pots above plastic draining pot holders, the runoff is collected downthere and each of the pot holder has a plastic tube glued with water resistant superglue so after every water all the runoff water is collected from a pump with just a push of a button, the irrigation watering system is also connected and works pretty nice i have been giving them the water also by a simple push of a button with irrigation seem to love it (its not a automatic feeder connected to a reservuar i have two waterpumps one for watering one for collecting runoff i simply put the water intake plastic tube in my water bucket & press the button manualy, worth mentioning all of them have been reciving the same nutrient solution and same water although pheno#1 have been streching 4-6cm more than her sisters and she developed abit of blueish leafs even the soil in all 4 pots was from the same 2 soil bags and mixed very well before filling them so soil manifacturer excess nitrogen mistake is also not possible, i feel it is the phenotype but just to make sure there will be no excess nitrogen in the end i watered her with the exact same water amount as her sisters but 260ppm less for her this time just to make sure the blue is gone soon.she will be fine and emerald in few days. From today the UV FROST is ON from now too. Oh i forgot to mention thrueout the diary they where never topped only trained with these red clips besides the pheno3 that came topped "from god" since sprout and i wouldnt recommend topping autos (btw pheno 3 is a monster and smells wayy more LOUDA than the siblings.) although the pheno1 remains the main subject further on she got fuel to shoot for the stars and we rlly dont want that in this compact mini research area dont curse me for the substrate choice :D this stuff translates a bit of that earthy taste to the buds and way less attention than coco.

Friends Growth Period about 9 Weeks, Blossoming 10 Weeks, Plant With Great Christmas Tree Structure. As far as nutrition is never said, it's never enough or more, he wants, for the rest any mold problem .... Very sweet aroma requires filter in the cultivating chamber.

Day 26 of flower, plants are looking beautiful, no signs of stress

Things are getting serious now!🔥 #2 has developed an insanely large main bud, absolutely packed with trichomes and giving off a super pungent aroma. 🌿 Meanwhile, #1 keeps stretching and is still the biggest plant in the tent. It continues to give off that stunning sweet, tropical scent, which is just unreal! Both plants seem to be moving fast—I have a feeling they might be ready in about two weeks. Let’s see how they finish up! 🤩

Start of week 3 everything looking good. On day 16 I transplanted them to fabric pots. Except for the absolute unit in the middle. I left that one alone as it seems to have overtaken everything else. Using RO water and I add tiny amount of tap water to bring PH up to around 6.2. 3Liters RO and 250ml of my tap turned it into 6.2 ish PH from 5.8

Pics taken on day 36. Some, if not most of these are lightly seeded, I've checked for herms but cant find no nuts. Sucks but from what I've read and people I've talked to seems like it wont be too big of a deal in the end, some old school growers even prefer lightly seeded nugget, I've never tried it intentionally. The green buzz nutes are working well. I'm almost out of the more PK so I had to add herculean harvest liquid bonemeal to get the ppm where i want it while trying to conserve the Gbl to last the rest of the run. Didnt have the lady to take my pics today so I was limited and had to take them lefty one handed and was shakey af. This plant is amazing I dont understand the coloring but it's pretty crazy in person. I havnt found any seeds on her yet so I'm hoping shes in the clear. Threw in a x ray of my new collar bone. Looks like a bunker rake on a golf course. Drop a comment tell me about your worst injury. I did this on Instagram and heard some pretty wild shit so please share for all our amusement😅

A little late posting this week. (Wednesday) Smell is strong, even touching the plant now requires serious hand washing. Plant is showing a lot of terpenes and is basically kicking ass. Hairs have started turning red as we approach the last couple weeks. I’ll start taking a closer look at the colour of terpes next week and be ready for a flush. (Friday) This thing is chunky! Really happy with this grow so far. Added my first video too. (Sunday) Checked the trichomes this am and all still clear. I’m guessing 2 more weeks so the flushing starts next feed.

This week has gone well most the plants looking healthy my six shooter is looking a little but yellow other than that I carn't complain. Will be trying some calmag see it that helps her out. Seeing and smelling some interesting things this week. The Quick #1 is frosting us nicely and smelling really nice. I grew it outdoors last year and they did alright but this one looks like its going to be a lot nice. The original Russian is fattening up same with the zkittles og 👌 I ended up topping one of the Lemon Ak's and she has turned in to a intresting little Bush. The stardawg is a tiny stinkin Christmas tree! Had the missile 33 outside for the last 2 weeks she is going to be the biggest plant out of the lot of them, she still hasn't started flowering at all yet but is a nice looking bush! Will bring her in when some of the other are finished and I have room in my tiny tent. Hope everyone's gardens are doing well, peace 🍁 Will take pictures of each individual plant again soon. Still not harvested anything

Saskatoon Berry occupies the front middle two pots of the tent. There are three plants. 2 have established roots, one still struggles to catch up. Flip is happening soon so there isn't much time left.

The weather has continued to be hot and now it is cooling at night. Lows have been 11 degrees. Plants were fine and getting bushy and a bit taller. The sizes are as follows; #4 the shortest is still the shortest at 49", next is #3 at 53" and the second tallest #2 is now the tallest and biggest at 69" and the biggest before #1 (which took the beatdown) is 67". All look good. #1 is starting to bud out and looks like it has been budding for over a week. Happy days! All smell strong and great. I can smell them from my car. Love it. The rest do not look like they are budding yet. I guess they may be shorty behind. Fed the one in bud bloom nutes and the others got veg nutes. I will be back in two weeks and may adjust at that time. The three plants all look nice and bushy with lots of branches. Hopefully good producers. The other will be limited. Hope weather holds up. Cheers.

End of 5th week of flowering. GSC and Tangie by Fairseeds Cheesus by Tomáš Filcka

Lots of smells have become their own... The fried banana has this crazy skunk smell with a real earth dirt smell once the skunk fades... The orange cake NO kidding, smells like a fresh peeled orange and some kind of batter smell... It's nuts... The big Z has the immediate Skittles blast with a earthy afternote... And the paint is just like the last one and smells real chemical like! When u say the name it makes u smell the paint... Is that just me???? Hahaha anyways... Thats what I got .. everything is going amazing and for day 37 I think they've filled out real nice... Now hopefully they fatten up in the next 20-30 days!!!!

07.07.2025 Flowering day 9 and rooting day 9. Both, flowers and roots show up now. 08.07.2025, 09.07.2025 | Flowering day 10 and 11 Did some lollypoping

No issues so far.

Tag 68: Noch eine Woche bis zur Ernte. Zum Glück. Die Blätter sehen auch echt nicht mehr gut aus. Vermutlich war ich beim ph wert einstellen noch zur vorsichtig, und er war noch etwas zu hoch?!? Ich traue mich immer nicht soviel von Säure zum senken rein zu machen 😬

The girls are fully in flower this week which of course is a GREAT sight to see when opening the tent. The smell in the tent is so sweet and fruity it's already making your mouth water!! So this week I feed the girls with a little of the living soil veg so they are still getting a helping hand. They were also given the living soil bloom and some barley which I will admit is the first time using it but so far me plus the girls are very much enjoying!! I have done the necessary light de-foliating on all 4 girls over the past 2 weeks and more LST. Happy toking guys and girls!! Will keep you all posted with more videos through the week so please keep checking back 🙂
